Agreed.
I once asked AI a question, “How do you inflate a foldable phone?”
If it was smart, it should have responded with something like ‘This question doesn’t make sense, but here are some related articles to help you.’
But no no no, it literally wrote out instructions for me that almost looked perfectly professional, except it just replaced ‘inner tube’ with ‘folding phone’…
If AI keeps hallucinating like that, and people accept it as somehow being ‘smarter’ than humans, then indeed we might just be on track for a new dumb generation of humans that just accept bullshit as fact.

Well… Don’t leave us hanging!
Did the instructions work? You’d think it would be harder than inflating a tablet-style phone… Because of the hinge.

LMFAO!
Want a quick way to inflate a foldable phone, stab it with a screwdriver. Don’t mind the smoke and fire, that’s just part of the process 🔥👍
